This story is going to be bunch of little one-shots, random drabbles or whatever comes into my head :)

The title of this chapter comes from Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. It's a beautiful song, and it inspired me to write this chapter. Look it up, it really is a good song.

Little Wonders

"Beckett, come on, you need a break." insisted Castle.

She looked up from a huge stack of papers on her desk. "No I don't." She said, rolling her eyes, "I need to get all this paperwork done."

"Beckett, it's almost eight-thirty. You've been working for almost fourteen hours. You need a break. Let's go." Castle took her arm and made her stand up.

"Castle, what are you doing?" she asked, trying to pull away as he successfully put her coat.

"It's snowing. We're going for a walk." He said in a no-nonsense voice, pointing at the window.

Beckett looked out the darkened window and at the brightly lit city. Castle was right, snow was lightly falling.

"Fine." She sighed. "Only for five minutes."

Castle grinned, and led her to the elevator.

"Castle, let go of my arm. I'm coming with you, it's not like I'm going to run away." She shrugged out of his grasp.

"Sorry." He suppressed a smile.

The doors to the elevator opened, and Castle followed Beckett into it. They rode in silence, and reached the lobby in no time. Castle followed her out of the elevator and into the night.

He watched her as she looked up at the sky and grinned. Big fat flakes were drifting down, landing on the pair as they stood, watching.

"Come one." He called to her as he started down the street.

She caught up easily, and they walked in silence. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye. Her tall, slender figure was enveloped in a charcoal-grey felt coat. Her hair cascaded down her back in waves and her green eyes shone. She grinned at the snow, and Castle's heart faltered, then started beating faster than ever. She was easily the most gorgeous person he had ever seen – apart from Alexis of course.

Beckett strolled over to a bench, and sat down. Castle sat beside her. He could feel her shivering, so he slung his arm around her, but she shrugged out of his reach.

"Castle, what are you doing?" She asked, amused.

"Beckett, you're freezing. You're shivering, and your teeth are chattering." He gave he a 'look'. "We can go in if you want. I'd insist on talking you home, but you'd hurt me."

"She smiled, and leaned into him. He took it as a sign to put his arm back around her.

"Fine, but only because I'm cold."

"Yeah, sure." He teased her.

She ignored him. "It's so beautiful." She breathed, looking at the dark sky, brightly lit buildings and swirling snow. "You don't appreciate the beauty of life until you stop and actually think about it."

"It's the little things that matter, the little wonders that are precious." Castle smiled.

And they sat, locked in their embrace, watching the snow and appreciating the little wonders.
